1Opinion of the Court
DAMON J. KEITH, Circuit Judge.
Sherry Gionis entered into a credit card agreement with Direct Merchants Credit Card Bank (“Direct Merchants”). When she became delinquent in her payments, Direct Merchants hired the law firm of Javitch, Block & Rathbone, LLP (“Javitch” or “law firm”) to collect the delinquent funds. Javitch’s attempts to collect the debt eventually led it to file suit against Gionis in an Ohio state court on November 24, 2003.
No mention of attorney fees appeared in the state court complaint; but Javitch did attach an “Affidavit of Indebtedness & Debt & Non-Military & Contract”…
